Keeping your smile for life!
Gum disease Treatment is used for infections of the structure surround the teeth – including the gum, the bones, the roots and the ligaments – caused by the lack of oral hygiene and the accumulation of bacterial plaques. It is the most common disease in mankind and the main cause of tooth loss. Even at its most mild level, it can affect quality of life.
The most well-known diseases are Gingivitis and Periodontics.
Gingivitis is the inflammation of the superficial soft tissue supporting the tooth, and the symptoms include redness, bleeding when you brush, swollen gums, constant bad breath and bad taste in the mouth. This is the early stage to set a periodontitis, although not all cases progress to that, if the proper care is taken in advance. It means that it can be reversible and may be treated with help of hygiene sessions and improved of oral daily care.
Periodontitis involves the deeper supporting structures including bone destruction, and sadly the damage of periodontitis is irreversible, but the disease can be treated with properly care.
The biggest problem is that most people are often unaware they have gum disease, because sometimes it doesn’t hurt. Accumulation of tartar sometimes is invisible to white, sticky film that forms your teeth. They form above and below the gum line, and this the major reason of gum disease. But some other number of factors can contribute and aggravate the condition, these include:

They are small and lightweight, providing excellent comfort while speaking, chewing and eating. You can have them removable or fixed. The difference between them is that the removable you can take out to clean them, while the fixed ones are attached right to your jaw or under your gums and only the dentist can remove it.

A smile to be proud!
Fortunately, dental implants are now relatively easy, affordable and they are identical to your real teeth, as long as they are placed by qualified dentists at a leading office, like Bella Smile.
They are artificial tooth roots, similar in shape to screws. When they are placed in your jawbone bellow the gum, they connect with your natural bone, becoming a strong base for supporting one or more artificial teeth, called the crowns. It is necessary having healthy gums and bones to support it.
This is not only an issue that must be taken to the aesthetic side, but the lack of one or more teeth can compromise chewing, speech and even the movements of the mouth. In addition, it will prevent resorption shrinkage of the underlying jawbone, lateral movement of adjacent teeth and over-eruption of opposite tooth. Because of this, it is fundamental that this procedure is done properly by skilled professionals.
The high quality of services guarantees long-term success after surgery with conventional oral hygiene care.

Teeth Whitening
Be happy, Be bright, Be you!
Having whiter teeth, like those toothpaste advertisements, is the desire of many people. And that dream can come true!
With a highly professional teeth whitening services we ensure impressive results, in a minimally invasive way. We will guide you through the latest procedures, discuss your preferences, lifestyle factors, and any previous experiences before recommending your whitening treatment plan.
The treatments are safe and work because the product is based on hydrogen peroxide, which when in contact with the surface of the teeth can break the pigmented molecules, dissociating them into smaller molecules and making the tooth lighter.
We offer 2 different methods to suit any level of whitening choices:
Custom Whitening Trays: A personalized trays will be designed especially for you, after which send them home with a bleaching gel to follow the protocols in the comfort of your own home. After just 3 days, you’ll begin to notice the difference!
Zoom Whitening: This in-office treatment takes approximately 2 hours in our office. We’ll also take impressions for custom trays so you can finish the process at home. Better yet, the custom trays are included in the Zoom fee!
The benefits of these techniques are that not only does it offer greater whitening power, but also includes professional supervision, faster effects, and longer-lasting results.
It is important to mention that both procedures are more effective after a professional tooth cleaning. This is usually the first step in the process. Our knowledgeable hygienist will ensure you have a comfortable cleaning session.
Composite Bonding
Smile make over you deserve!
A transformation starts at the first consultation where we discuss about what patients don’t like about their teeth, and what type of smile they desire.
The benefits of this procedure are extensive, and we can use dental bonding to repair the teeth that are cracked, broken, decayed or discolored. Also enhance the shape and the size of your teeth, close gaps between them, post orthodontics treatment, post periodontal treatment, cosmetic alternatives, and for receding gums.
In general, it is a very simple procedure that provides a great solution for aesthetical improvements, and it is one of the least expensive cosmetic treatments available. It is painless and (usually) does not require anesthesia, normally takes just one office visit, and your teeth will be stronger and your smile brighter.
Porcelain Veneers
Designed teeth that change lives!
The confidence that a beautiful smile provides makes a lasting impact on everyone around you. We can help you to look rejuvenated, and boost your self-esteem!
Veneers are thin custom-made porcelain facings to fit your mouth, and are individually attached to the existing teeth to improve their appearance. Developed to look like a perfect natural tooth, they are used to cover stains, chips, decays, to close gaps, or any irregularities. They are durable and extremely versatile.
This procedure usually requires two visits. On the first appointment, the teeth are prepared to accommodate the veneer, and a thin layer of the enamel from the front surface will be removed. Next, we will take impressions and temporary veneers may be placed in the meantime, to give our patients the opportunity to trial the planned design in their own mouths. About two weeks later, the customized veneers will be permanently bonded to the teeth. We also see our patients a few days later to check all is well when they’ve had some time to use them.
The benefit of this kind of treatment is that you can strategically place just one or two porcelain veneers and quickly achieve the beauty symmetry you desire, and have an effect that traditionally needs months of orthodontic therapy.
Bear in mind that before any cosmetic service starts a checkup is necessary. Any recommended restoration, hygiene and gum disease need to be addressed.
